Bebe Rexha is done with photoshop and is urging women to buck social media bullies whose purpose in life is to “f*** you up.”

Bebe was on her way out of LAX Friday when she explained the purpose behind her un-photoshopped pic of her in a bikini, hanging out on a San Juan, Puerto Rico beach.

Bebe celebrates herself and other women, proclaiming, “I love my body, I love this fat ass, and I’m very proud of it!”

She makes it clear … women who seek approval from social media are in a losing fight, photoshop or not, because the end game is to mess with their mind, so it’s dumb to go there in the first place.

Bebe went nuclear on fashion designers before the Grammys … designers whom she says refused to dress her because her figure wasn’t small enough. Designer Michael Costello had 2 simple words for his comrades in arms who turned their back on BeBe … ‘f*** off!”

“I never gave up hope for a minute,” she said. “Even though at times I would have those moments of despair, I stayed strong for her ’cause I knew we would find her if we just stayed with the program, stayed persistent and that we would eventually find her”.

Ms Eller’s car and mobile phone had been found in the Makawao Forest Reserve car park – leading family and friends to suspect she had got lost while hiking.

Her boyfriend had been the last person to see her, and said he “strongly” felt she was in the forest.

Fifteen days after she was reported missing, three search team members reportedly spotted her on Friday in a deep ravine.

“We were freaking out. We were trying not to trip over ourselves trying to get to her too fast,” rescuer Chris Berquest told local media.

Another member of the aerial search party, Javier Cantellops, shared images and video of the incredible rescue on social media.

In one post on his Facebook page he described finding her as the “greatest day of my life”.

If he survives he will try to stay on until elections, probably in September.

What does the lawyer say?

The statement said that “the reactions of the politicians involved” had developed “a momentum of their own”.

It said the considerations behind the publication were “democratic-political and legal”.

Austrian media reports say that the lawyer is one of three people facing legal proceedings brought by Mr Strache.

Johann Gudenus, a Freedom Party politician who also appears in the video, has told the media that the Vienna lawyer was the person who established the contacts between him and the woman who posed as a Russian oligarch’s niece.

What has the political fallout been?

Mr Strache stood down as vice-chancellor hours after the video emerged.

His Freedom Party (FPÖ) then quit the coalition after President Alexander Van der Bellen fired FPÖ Interior Minister Herbert Kickl.

Mr Kurz, from the centre-right People’s Party (ÖVP), has replaced far-right ministers with technocrats.

What is in the video?

The scandal is widely being labelled “Ibiza-gate”, after the Spanish island where the video was recorded. It was made just weeks before the election which saw both the FPÖ and Chancellor Kurz’s People’s Party perform well.

In the footage, released earlier this month by German media, Mr Strache can be seen relaxing and drinking for hours at a villa with Mr Gudenus, while they meet the supposed Russian oligarch’s niece.

During the conversation, Mr Strache appears to propose offering her public contracts if she buys a large stake in the Austrian newspaper Kronen Zeitung – and compels it to support the FPÖ.

He is heard suggesting that a number of journalists would have to be “pushed” from the newspaper, and that he wants to “build a media landscape like [Viktor] Orban” – referring to Hungary’s nationalist leader.

Military and other security personel attached to the Calabar/Itu bridge head along Cross River and Akwa Ibom States boundary have repelled suspected attackers from entering Ikot Offiong in Odukpani local government area of Cross River State.

The suspects, who carried warring weapons and other equipment were alleged to have came in from Itu local government area of Akwa Ibom State.

A source who pleaded for anonymity alleged that the suspected war lords gathered at Itu and moved in large numbers towards the bridgehead with a view to crossing to Cross River State to attack their perceived enemies in Ikot Offiong community, in Odukpani but were repelled by security operatives.

“The suspected war lords gathered in the early hours (2-3am) of Saturday with a view to launching an attack on the people of Ikot Offiong in Odukpani local government area of Cross River but the military stopped them from crossing.

“We are very grateful to the military and other security agencies. Already, more than eight persons are feared dead, while property worth several millions of naira have been destroyed in the renewed communal clash which started on Wednesday,” the source alleged.

“We also prepared ourselves since the area is now a war front. These people have burnt down our houses and killed our people. This thing did not start today and we don’t know when it will stop or end.

“Our only saviour will be in God as the governments of Cross River and Akwa Ibom States have tried to solve the situation to no avail. When we experience peace for one, two, three months, the crisis will erupt again” he lamented.

“The warriors have been repelled, we are monitoring the situation. Let me advise the warring communities to give peace a chance. What do we achieve when we burn our houses, destroy our farm lands and kill our people?” He asked.

The SSA said that government will do all it can to bring to an end the perennial crisis in the area and called on various traditional rulers to maintain peace and order in their domain.

The Vice Chancellor, University of Ibadan (UI), Professor Idowu Olayinka has declared that the university is currently understaffed with 1,834 in all category, making lecturers and other workers overstretched.

Olayinka said with a student population of 32,228, full-time equivalents and the current number of staff at about 2,736, it means the university is short of 1,834 staff in all categories.

The VC made these revelations while addressing the audience at the third edition of the institution’s stakeholders’ meeting held at the Alumni Association auditorium of the institution on Thursday.

The Forum, which was anchored by the Director of Centre of Excellence, Dr. Akin Olubunmi, had in attendance staff of the university, parents, students and other stakeholders.

The Vice-Chancellor while addressing the audience said “The University is currently understaffed as a result of difficulty being experienced in hiring new staff and placing them on the payroll. A number of our colleagues are retiring, some have resigned while unfortunately, some died.

“With a total student population of 30,105 in terms of the headcount of full time students and a total full time equivalent of 32,228, and using the NUC norm, there is a shortage of 374 academic staff, a shortage of 397 in the senior technologist cadre, a shortage of 931 in the junior technical staff cadre and shortage of 132 in the junior administrative staff category”.

Olayinka then submitted that the analysis “suggests that our staff are over overstretched even while at the same time they are overworked. We cannot thank them enough for their patience and forbearance. we are making representation to the relevant authorities in Abuja so that we would be able to engage new staff, especially at the lower levels”.

Chairman of the occasion, Dr. Akin Onigbinde (SAN) in his opening address urged the management of the institution to continually be proactive and be innovative in its ways to improve the standard of the institution

Onigbinde said, “The university of Ibadan must constantly continue to think out innovative ways of reinventing itself, and transforming itself for relevance and development. It is commonly acknowledged that one of the greatest areas of our national needs is in the area of leadership; leadership across the board.

“University of Ibadan must continually identify the areas of needs and address these directly and frontally. The University of Ibadan will also do well to create niches in addressing the most critical areas of need of pain and challenges of Nigeria, Africa, and promote their areas of greatest promise and prospects.

“It must engage in in the kind of innovative thinking that created the likes of the Chatham House. Ibadan has the means, and the men and women to make it happen”.

Barcelona captain, Lionel Messi, is set to win the European Golden Shoe this season, after his nearest challenger Kylian Mbappe fell short.

Mbappe could only score once, as Paris Saint-Germain ended their Ligue 1 season with a disappointing 3-1 defeat at Stade de Reims.

Left-back Baba Rahman, on loan from Chelsea, opened the scoring before the break and Mathieu Cafaro doubled it shortly after.

Despite Kylian Mbappe halving the deficit, Pablo Chavarria struck with the final kick of the game to seal the unlikely win.

Mbappe’s consolation goal means he ends the season with 33 league goals, three behind Barcelona’s Lionel Messi in the race for the Golden Shoe, which given to the top scorer in Europe through a ranking system.
